'It never happened': Jesse Singal debunks AP's photo caption of Vito Gesualdi 'screaming profanities' at Netflix walkout; Updated

As Twitchy reported Wednesday, counterprotesters showed up at that Netflix walkout over Dave Chappelle’s comedy special, “The Closer.” As we showed you, protesters destroyed Vito Gesualdi’s “We Like Dave” sign and then claimed he had a weapon when he was left with nothing but a stick. He was bodied out of the crowd and had a tambourine shaken in his face to shut him up.

“Comedian and videographer Vito Gesualdi screams profanities as he engages with peaceful protesters begging him to leave,” read the AP photo caption, which was then picked up by other news outlets. “Oh great, it’s a stock Associated Press photo caption so that lie is on dozens of news sites now,” Gesualdi tweeted, noting that those peaceful protesters destroyed his sign and tackled his buddy to the concrete.

Jesse Singal has looked into the AP’s caption too.

The AP has issued a correction, removing “profanities” and “peaceful.”
